Denver Family Visit

So of course the night before we leave for Denver, Scarlett is up ALL night with her first cold!  Oh timing is everything. :)  Our Little Miss was a trooper with super late bedtimes, a mommy off doing bridesmaid fun, dry Denver air + couging made her so hoarse!  Ahh, her little voice!  She is starting to feel better, thank goodness. 
An added bonus of Andi & Kyle's wedding weekend was that my dad's side of the family lives in Denver!  I only was able to sneak in one dinner with the fam but the rest of the bunch got way more together time!  I hardly took any pics, can't believe I didn't get one of Scarlett and my grandma!  Dad/Mom - hoping you guys got some??

Hates it!

video
I love the Ella's pouches for Scarlett - I eat half of them myself. :)  Some of the flavor combos are a little off the wall.  We tried Broccoli, Peas and Pears the other night.  S absolutely hated it!  I had a bite and agreed - yuck.  John thankfully captured the moment and kept me from feeding it to her again cause her reaction was cracking me up!
I am loving that my mom was with us in SF two weekends in a row plus we get to see her again this weekend along with the rest of the fam!

Loved catching these two on the monitor
 When the grandmas are in town that means definite date nights!  We went to RN74 two weeks ago which we both thought it was okay but overpriced.  Last weekend, we made it to Park Tavern which has been on my list forver but dining out is not a usual things for us anymore.  The best meal - the best appetizer I have ever had plus deviled eggs!  Love!
I love a deviled egg - add some bacon and jalapenos.  Heaven!

Scarlett: 8 months

To our little miss...

Eight months old, wowee!  I can sum you up in one word right now - BUSY!  You are constantly on the go, touching things, pulling yourself up on things, trying to climb onto things, crawling, jabbering, squirming, playing, and more.  You are just so busy!  You still love to put everything in your mouth, especially shoes preferring ones with a decorative toe - Tory Burch's are your favorite! :)  This past month you helped to celebrate mommy's birthday, attended your first baby shower, had two weekend with your Gigi, and spent loads of time with your daddy.  I had my first business trip for 3 nights and then an event the night I got back - oh how I missed bedtime!  Your daddy and you of course were happy as clams together.
 You prefer to be upright at all times, especially after your bath.  This pic gave me a glimpse into a year from now when you are running around with your towel after your bath like your friend, Ellie!
You love to eat - puffs being a new favorite even though most don't make it into your mouth more the fun of trying to grab them.  We need to start more foods not purees but the jars have just been easier!
 I can get you to sit like this for about one second - as you see from your hand you were already on the move.
 You are so excitable and I absolutely love it.  Each day is you discovering something all over again to make you this happy.  You also huff and puff when you get excited - we have no idea how you learned that but it is funny.  Video to come!
 Bath time is still one of your favorite things - this was one of your last baths in this tub you are now in a bath seat. 
Sleep - I hate even writing about your sleep because I feel like it jinxes it!  We had an amazing couple weeks of you sleeping through the night, 6:30pm-6:30am.  I love getting more time together in the morning so early a.m. wake ups work for me - except when they are in the 5:15 range which has been only 2 times.  The past few days you were getting up a couple times a night and fussing more than usual - I was not ready to do cry it out again so I fed you a couple nights at 2:30a.m.  Last night, you slept through the night again!  I know you have a lot of teeth a coming and growth spurts, so we will continue to go with the flow.

I love you oodles and boodles my little Button Bear, Scarlydo, Little Miss, Scarletto, Baby Girl!

Mother's Day Weekend

So fun to have my mom here this weekend.  We snuck away for a date night last evening, enjoyed a trip to SF Botanical Gardens in Golden Gate Park, visited our neighborhood park and watched Scarlett's new trick of standing after pulling herself up on anything that will stay still.  Video to come!
Happy girl 
The Botanical Gardens were lovely

I hope all my mama friends and other mama's in our lives felt spoiled with love today! XOXO

Erin's baby shower

On Friday, my co-workers Michelle & Christine (who threw my adorable bunny baby shower) and I hosted a baby shower for another co-worker, Erin.  Erin is expecting a baby boy in early July - August Sage aka Gus.  We decided to run with an herb theme based on her baby boy's middle name!
